Official title
Evaluating the Use of Educational Videos in a Medical Oncology Sarcoma Clinic to Improve Patient Knowledge and Satisfaction.
Overview
This study aims to evaluate how sarcoma-specific educational videos improve patients' knowledge of their disease and treatment options before their first clinic appointment. Participants will watch four educational videos before their first appointment with a medical oncologist. Participants will be asked to complete surveys to assess their understanding of sarcoma and its treatment options before and after their first medical oncology clinic appointment.
Interventions
- Other Educational videos
Participants will be provided with four educational videos in clinic prior to their initial medical oncology consult. - Other Standard of Care
Participants in the control arm will be provided with the educational videos after their consult with the medical oncologist.
Primary outcome measures
- Assess differences in patients' and caregivers' knowledge and perceptions of sarcoma and its treatment before and after educational intervention [Time frame: up to 2 weeks (date when given appointment and date of first appointment)]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Assess understandability and actionability of sarcoma educational videos. [Time frame: up to 2 weeks (date when given appointment and date of first appointment)]
- Assess understandability and actionability of sarcoma educational videos. [Time frame: up to 2 weeks (date when given appointment and date of first appointment)]
- Assess patient's and caregivers' satisfaction with the educational videos [Time frame: up to 2 weeks (date when given appointment and date of first appointment)]
